National Honored Bandurist Capella. P.3. /digi-pack/
National Honored Chapel of Bandura-Players of Ukraine named after H.I.Mayboroda is, presumably, one of the most respected music collectives of the country. Not only due to the status, but also due to their age – in fact, its history dates back to 1918, that is practically 90 years ago. I am not sure that a lot of similar independent collectives of such age can be found in the world – and, moreover, those in the bloom of their creative forces. To say nothing already about that a complete analogue is also physically impossible because the bandura is a peculiarly Ukrainian instrument. Actually, no longer just an instrument, but an embodiment and a symbol, the soul and word of a Ukrainian, wherever he/she might live. Therefore, I think, the new release will bring joy to many people – both Ukrainians all over the world, and those who are interested in the culture of Ukraine. And those who are not indifferent to the artistic epics approach to performance of music pieces. Regardless of the scale. Actually, in such performance even quite an insignificant piece would look solid. Well, and the Chapel does not perform just any piece, its repertoire contains a lot of Ukrainian pearls, both music and poetic ones – you will hear them yourselves. And the genre specificity of the collective is that all the artists sing and simultaneously play the banduras.
The release consists of four discs of premium design. And, though each of them is independent and complete, we still recommend those interested to buy all the four collections. Figures of an epic scale require extensive canvas and great attention – but there is nothing to compare with the experience of getting acquainted with them.

Bandura-Players Trio of the Ukrainian Radio. De viter zemlyu holubyt. /premium, digi-pack/. (Where the Wind Cuddles the Land)


"The Bandura Players Trio of the Ukrainian Radio" – the creative credo of this small but amazingly brilliant team is coded in this name. Although its main task is to make audio records for the Ukrainian radio Fund (as it is a well-known collection, which reflects the history of Ukrainian culture) the Trio has a surprisingly bright creative biography..

Bandura-Players Trio of the Ukrainian Radio. Melodiji ridnoho kraju. (Melodies of the Native Land)


If we are not mistaken, you now see already the second album by this trio – it's nice. Because you start listening – and immediately you are shrouded by such spring, real magic, that you don't want to say or do anything – only to listen. Still, in sounding of the bandura there is some lightness and clarity, which is able to raise you unnoticed over the earth..

Volodymyr Luciw. Ukrainian folk songs & dumy.


Volodymyr Luciw is one of those Ukrainian artists who during their whole life have honored and glorified Ukrainian art in the world. But it happened so that an enormous part of his creative life passed outside Ukraine. It is, actually, possible to say that up to a certain moment he was better known and respected abroad than in his motherland.

Ув. коллеги! Я обращаюсь к Вам таким образом потому, что с 1970 по 1976г.г. сам был участником и пел в капелле (руководителем был Николай Гвоздь). Я сам пишу стихи на русском и украинском языках. Некоторые подходят для хорового пения. Хочется возобновить сотрудничество с художественным руководителем Вашей капеллы в этом ракурсе.

WOW! WOW! WOW! This is a superb CD!!! The "National Honored Chapel of Bandura Players of Ukraine" is OVER THE TOP in their singing with extraordinarily superb harmony. One could not ask for anything better. HIGHLY recommended for music lovers who enjoy folk instruments and extremely high quality, gifted and professional singing. In several of the tracks the singing is so moving it is unbelievable, bringing tears to one's eyes with it's beauty.
